Chapter 53

I continued to eat the mangoes until none left. She was even taken aback

when he reached out and gently squeezed her cheek.

"You remind me of my little sister," he said solemnly, and

a sad dull flashed across his eyes.

"Fuck! Azael Aadi, get your filthy hands off her."

When she looked at it, she sighed at the angry

expression on Cuhen's face. Its big steps are now on

their way. His appearance is dark, and he can eat a

person at any time.

Azael laughed and walked away from her, mumbling.

"Hello, Cuhen! What's going on? When you beat your

half-brother, you abandoned me on the island, ah! You

asshole!"

She was simply silent. Azael was with Cuhen during the

raid last night. What actually happened on the island?

Did they kill everyone there? How are their families

doing? Didn't they even give those people a second

chance, even though they admitted they were bad?

"Please excuse me." She dashed away and into the room.

However, in her haste, she tripped over on her way. She's

a moron! The pain in her knee temporarily blinded her.

"How come you're so stupid?" Cuhen was right behind

her. She was completely unaware of his quick approach.

She jumped to her feet, but her body immediately lifted

into the air. Cuhen picked her up and she freely

examined his face for the second time. Her heart felt like

it was pounding as she watched him. She was in pain and didn't know why.

"C-cuhen," she called out to him.

It didn't even bother looking at him. While she was in his

arms, it continued to take steps towards the stairs. She

gave a bitter smile. Her hatred and abhorrence for it has

vanished. She thought her feelings for him would fade,

but she now believes they have grown stronger. But

there's a catch: Cuhen doesn't love her back.

"T-thankyou," she said as she closed her eyes. She didn't

want to see its reaction, so she braced herself. She had

no idea what Cuhen's plan was for her now.

"Don't be," he said emphatically.

She did not respond. Until she gently placed her on her

room's bed.

"We'll pay your father a visit tomorrow."

"Can I return to my old life?"

His gaze was fixed on her, as if he was considering what

she had said. He took a long time to respond, "No." Then

he stormed out.

The next day, she was in a chopper with Cuhen, who had

a deep mind. He was just staring at the ring on his finger.

She gave a bitter smile. It was also clear that it was his

engagement ring to Florae, and she was hurt by it.

Cuhen is madly in love with her dead fiancee and she

understands.

She couldn't stop crying after placinga basket of flowers

on her father's grave. She cried and cried until she felt

better.

You're going to be a grandfather, Dad, but you left me.

'Don't worry, Dad, I'Il take care of myself and your

grandson. You will always be in my heart. I love you. You

are the best Daddy in the world. Goodbye, Dad. You and

Mommy are now together in heaven, and say my 'hi' to

her.

She felt his flat belly. She has no plans to inform Cuhen

that she is pregnant, and she believes he is uninterested.

Cuhen was talking to a handsome creature she knew by

the name Farhistt Fortocarrero when she looked at them

for a moment. They appeared to be talking seriously

because they didn't seemn to notice her when she went

to a nearby waiting shed to sit.

She wanted to do a lot of things, but she wasn't sure

which ones to start with. She also wanted to pay a visit to

the company that her father had left behind and see how

things were going.

She waited for Cuhen and his friend to finish their serious conversation for a few minutes. She was taken

aback when Azael suddenly stood lnfront of her smiling.

Her heart almost jump out!

"Are you trying to kill me?" she retorted angrily as he

laughed softly with amusement on his face.

"Come on, we'll run and hide!" And she was caught off

guard when Azael yanked her hand away.

She couldn't stop him from grabbing her. Especially

when they turn into a street with a high wall surrounding

it and a parked car in front. Azael quickly opened the car

door, seated her in the passenger seat, and drove away.

When they were on the highway, the man laughed. He

was overjoyed for reasons she didn't understand.

"Where are you taking me?" she asked, surprised, and

the car was moving quickly. She doesn't want to die at

al!

"Calm down, Ellah!" He slowed his pace slightly. "Would

you like us to go to your Daddy's place?"

"Really?" Azael asked, brightening her face. "Will you

drive me there?"

"Do I look like I'm joking now?" he asked, grinning. "But

first, remove the GPS attached to your pendant so

Cuhen can't track us down and take you back to your

jail."

She looked down at the necklace she was wearing, taken

surprised. She didn't take it off because her father gave

it to her. When she looked behind it, she noticeda small GPS tracker attached. It is roughly the size of a chia seed

and glows red.

She took off her necklace and gave it to the man. They

came to a halt for a brief moment, which broke the

tracking device, and then continued in the middle of the

road. She was no longer puzzled as to why Cuhen had

always followed her. She was wearing a tracking device.

She slightly calmed herself because she was irritated by

what Cuhen had done. That's why, no matter what she

does while hiding, it always follows her. When did she get

her tracking device? Perhaps when she was with Kleve.

They stopped in front of Hernandez Enterprise. Azael

went first, and then he helped her down, as if she

couldn't walk on her own. As they entered, the guard

smiled at her, but her father's personal secretary

delivered bad news. Cuhen's name is already on the

company. Since the old Don Hernandez disappeared

completely, Cuhen is the new owner.

She was trapped in her chair. She struggled to accept

the bad news. Why isn't she aware? Azael just looked at

her, as if he knew what was going on. It just seemed to

imply that she should find out for herself that her

father's company was no longer hers.

She didn't linger long; she invited Azael to leave, and he

agreed. She lost her appetite. The man smiled at her and

reached for her cheek.

"Do you want us to go over there and buy mangoes?"

She rolled her eyes at what he said to the mango. "Can I?" she asked.

He chuckles. "Yeah! All right, Ellah, let's go."

They came to stopped in front of a mango stall. For a

brief moment, Cuhen disappeared from her mind. When

she started eating the mangoes with bagoong alamang

in the middle, happiness replaced the pain she felt.

She was on her fifth mango when she noticed Azael, who

was saddenedly staring at a girl in the distance. The girl

dressed in nerd glasses and a roomy shirt and pants.

Her curly light brown hair, which almost completely

obscured her lovely face. She appeared to be concealing

Someone.

"She's the woman I truly love... my love." Azael said

sadly, not forgetting to look at the woman.

"Why don't you go up to her?"

"She's also my younger sister."

Her bite stopped in the air, and she gave him a sour look.

Did she hear correctly? She wasn't a snob, but she

couldn't understand what he was saying.

"She's trying to get away from me." Azael sighed and

scratched his chin. "But she had no idea I was just stood

watching her from afar. But one day, she will be mine as

well, and the relationship | really want will be realized."

She simply rolled her eyes and ignored what he had to

say. The mango she's eating right now is delicious.

As Ellah and Azael rolled around, Ellah's foot almost hurt. She appears to be a child who has become

disoriented in her prison, as evidenced by her

hyperactivity. She would not let them pass any stall

without eating at every food on display. She and Azael

are frequently misidentified as a couple because Azael is

always willing to assist her. He took her on all of the trips

that day and also bought her some nice clothes. The

majority of these are maternal outfits. She just raised an

eyebrow at him and didn't bother to ask why he chooses

maternal clothes for her. Does Azael knows she's

pregnant? Does Cuhen too?

She was exhausted and about to get into Azael's car

when she felt someone grab her wrist.

"Damn, Ellah!" exclaimed Cuhen.

She sighed at what he had done and was about to

withdraw her hand, but he grabbed it tightly and she was

hurt by the way he held it.

"Hey Cuhen, Ellah is hurt by your grip," Azael said, but

Cuhen smacked Azael across the face.

"Fuck off, Azael Aadi Legrand!" His eyes narrow as he

turns the man around. He's angry as hell.

Cuhen's actions caused her blood to boil. As if she didn't

know he'd taken Hernandez's company? Then he felt

compelled to harm Azael, who had done nothing but

make her happy for even a single day? Damn this man!

She slapped Cuhen across the face with such force that

his face almost turned away. "Stop interfering in my life,

Mr. Malcogn. Stop bothering me! It's my life...
